Abstract
A time-reversal array in multimode fiber is proposed
for lossless remotely controlled switching using passive optical
splitters. The signal to be transmitted is digitally pre-distorted
so that it is routed through the physical layer in order to arrive at
only one receiver in an array. System performance in the presence
of additive white gaussian noise, modal group delay, and timing
error is investigated numerically for single-mode and 10-mode
fiber. Focusing using a two-transmitter array and 44 km of single-
mode fiber is demonstrated experimentally for 3 GBd QPSK
signals with a bit error rate below the forward error correction
limit.
